The story
A new teaser trailer and stills for “New Oishinbo,” set to air in 2027, have been released, revealing the voices of Shiro Yamaoka (Yohei Azakami), Yuko Kurita (Hitomi Sasasaki), and Yuzan Kaibara (Akio Otsuka) for the first time. The original manga, written by Tetsu Kariya and illustrated by Akira Hanasaki, has sold a cumulative 135 million copies. On 5ch, opinions clashed between those praising the character designs for moving closer to the art style of the manga’s later chapters and those worried about the thin CG linework and cheap-looking visuals. Some who remember the cultural atmosphere of the ’90s voiced skepticism about whether reviving that mood today even makes sense, and the fact that the broadcaster hasn’t been announced also drew attention.

What people said
so cultural projects like the 'Ultimate Menu' were viable,
and someone like Yamaoka —
a lazy employee — could still get by.
These days even Sankei and Mainichi are laying people off.
Even 'Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan' ignores Hirohiko Araki's current (weaker) art style when designing its characters.
I'm not a fan of Araki's current art style either, but it's not like it's bad.
These days they sometimes hold off announcing it until the last minute. 'Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray' kept TBS a secret right up until airing too.
The worst.
He really needs that gravelly voice like Chikao Otsuka, Genzo Wakayama, or Shuichiro Moriyama used to have.
And now they're doing a sequel with a whole new cast, huh.
What's even the point of doing that?
No wonder it ends up looking low-budget.
A revival that strips that away just isn't it.
Sure, cooking quality might have gone up, but these days most chefs aren't even suited to Japanese cuisine.
The Reiwa-era rice shortage that flipped into a rice glut, the 'death muffin' scandal, 'Kome Oto' (a rice-related news story)… there've actually been more interesting incidents since the manga went on hiatus.
It's a shame none of that gets used as material in this manga.
The trouble with CG anime is how the lines get all wobbly and limp, and the screen looks too bright/glaring.
Feels pretty late now.
The art looks cheap.
Yeah, it does feel low-budget.
I can't imagine the original author allowing any reworking, so they'll probably just stick to inoffensive, compliance-safe stories.
The previous anime killed what made the original manga good.
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
The original “Oishinbo” is a food manga written by Tetsu Kariya and illustrated by Akira Hanasaki, a hit series with a cumulative 135 million copies sold. The original anime aired in the ’90s, but as pointed out in the thread, the story was left hanging right at the “Ultimate vs. Supreme” wedding reception showdown, and this new work is positioned as a “full sequel” picking up where that left off. Opinions in the thread were mainly split over the animation: some praised the character designs for moving closer to the art style of the manga’s later chapters, while others worried about the thin CG linework and cheap-looking visuals. There were also comments in the thread claiming that Akio Otsuka, who voices Yuzan Kaibara, is the son of the voice actor who previously played the role — but this is a claim made by thread posters, not an official announcement, and fact-checking it is outside the scope of this article. The broadcaster has not been announced as of this writing, and the growing trend of withholding broadcaster names until the last minute in recent anime releases is also part of why it became a topic of discussion in the thread.
